Luckily for you, a storage expert has revealed that prevention is key and has shared a purse-friendly trick to help keep the pests far away from your home.
And don’t worry, there’s barely any faff involved.
Chris Hutton, an expert from Adams SelfStore, shared a “simple and highly effective solution” that will banish moths for good.
And not only will it get rid of moths, but it’ll ensure your pad smells fresh too.
Chris explained: “While we might find lavender‘s scent calming and pleasant, moths find it repellent.
“All you need to do is place a sachet where moths are likely to hide, wardrobes, drawers, or anywhere they can make a home.
“Once they catch a whiff of lavender, they’ll make themselves scarce.
“Simple as that.”
The expert recommended placing lavender sachets around homes in places such as “wardrobes, under cushions, in storage boxes, or even inside your pantry to keep moths away from your most vulnerable items.”
Not only this, but he warned that although small, moths “can cause big problems”.
Chris also stressed: “The key to dealing with moths is staying one step ahead.
